About SME Server |
| 26 |
================ |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium |
| 29 |
enterprises. SME Server is brought to you by Koozali Foundation, Inc., |
| 30 |
a non-profit corporation that exists to provide marketing and legal support |
| 31 |
for SME Server. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and |
| 34 |
is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community. |
| 35 |
However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on |
| 36 |
meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
As such, we ask for a donation to offset costs and fund further development. |
| 39 |

a) If you are a school, a church, a non-profit organisation or an individual |
| 41 |
using SME Server for private purposes, we would appreciate you to contribute |
| 42 |
within your means toward the costs associated with hosting, maintenance and |
| 43 |
development. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
b) If you are a company or an integrator and you are deploying SME Server in |
| 46 |
the course of your work to generate revenue, we expect you to make a donation |
| 47 |
commensurate with the level of revenue you generate and the number of servers |
| 48 |
your have in the field. Please, help the project |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |

Notes |
| 64 |
===== |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8.2 |
| 67 |
will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware |
| 68 |
means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX; |
| 69 |
AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors |
| 70 |
are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon, |
| 71 |
Athlon XP and later. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
2. Some notes on SME Server 8.2 including help on upgrades can be found at |
| 74 |
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8 |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
3. Please note Upstream policy on Production Phase 3 for EL5. Only those |
| 77 |
security updates deemed crucial are now being released upstream for EL5 |
| 78 |
(so also for SME8) The Koozali team recommends that you start moving |
| 79 |
workloads from SME Server 8 to SME Server 9. |
| 80 |
Planned EOL for CentOS 5 is Mar 31 2017 |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
4. Please note it may take up to 48 hours for mirrors to finish syncing, |
| 83 |
during this time you may experience problems. |
